VBS

This past week the kids enjoyed VBS at Fountaintown Christian Church.  It was their first time at a VBS like this.  They Loved it!  FCC is the church Grant grew up in so it was cute to see them there like their daddy was.

This is babysitter, Addison and Eva.  They love my kids so much!  Their family has been one of the biggest blessings in our life.

Come Sunday morning it was time to perform.  This is what it looked like.  Although it was adorable because they came down the aisle holding hands.  Jojo stood there with his hands folded.

Lillian did too until...

She saw the other kids doing motions.  Then she got much more into it.

 A rarity for me to put something this obnoxious in her hair. I have a green one for Cora but she won't leave it on.

 I"m going to try to get it filmed, but Josiah been practicing his TV evangelism.  He says, " The Lord loves you so much.  He will Heal you!" It's quite hilarious.

On a similar note he was playing a version of simon says that he learned at VBS.  He went something like this:

Wink says touch your head..

your nose...

hold your knife....(we are eating out)

cut people's head off with your knife.... 

lol (if you followed that)

 Jojo driving his me-me around.

 Handsome Husband.

Cora the Cutie and I.

Hope you had a Happy Fourth

Quick Picture Post

Once again our internet is being temperamental.  I'm just going to try to download some quick pictures while we have a connection.

 The kids on Uncle Jeffy's new motorcycle.

 Our other house guest, Alice, when Jake and Emily came for a visit.

 So the next few pictures are from when we spent a couple of hours at g & g Webb's.   Nothing like a southern grandma who makes you fried corn cakes with blackberry jam upon your arrival.  It was quicker than getting a burger at McD's.  

The always inventive Papa Billy made a fun toy with a box and seatbelt.  He comes up with the best stuff!

Ok, the next 3 are from when we had a fire and roasted hotdogs and smores. It was just the 5 us (dad came down to get a hotdog).  It was lots of fun.  Jojo and Grant slept in the tent for the night.  Jojo thought it was AWESOME.

 So these two picture are, yes... the BIGGEST BLOWOUT ever!!!

Poo puddle on the floor, then she crawled around continuing to spread it around. The only thing I could do was put her in the bathtub to confine her until I could get it cleaned up.

 Grandpa was in town last week so we had a few days to get in the pool.  

 Notice he is just down to his swim jacket minus the swimmies.

 Cora's cute little wrinkled feet...

....and her cute face.

Whew... it actually held up long enough for me to get it done.  Hope you enjoyed!

Month of May

There's many things I like about May besides being my birthday month, Jojo's, and Mother's day.

The weather gets warm...and cold....and hot.... but on the mild mornings I love going on walks with the kids.   I wish Josiah would hurry up and learn to ride his bike.  It would help the walks out tremendously.  That all hinges on getting his backed-over-by the car bike straightened out.

 I don't think it can be stated enough about these two.  They love. each. other.

All morning they have been playing dinos, cars, and legos together.

 Bathtime only gets more fun!

 Cuz Eddie stopped by from Brown County.  Since his momma was running the mini.  He wasn't quite sure what to think of Cora.

 May is also the time for the airshow.  We hiked it up 140 ft on top of the water tower to watch the show.  It was pretty cool because it was raining all around us.  We kept watching the radar.  It was to the east of us mainly though. 

 Since I'm doing May, Thank you to all the soldiers who gave there lives so that we may live and live freely.  

 I took a long weekend off from family to life to enjoy the sunny skies of Gulf Shores.  Grandma Star and I flew down to stay with Jerri in a beachside Condo.  There Jerri and I went to a 3 day music festival, The Hangout.  It was sooo much fun and relaxing.  Agenda: walks on the beach, sit under an umbrella for a couple hours, listen to some music at the festival, relax/nap, and some more music.  

This is the Biscuit King and the Fun Barn.  It's a place not far from Jerri's house.  It's home of the ugly biscuit.  I think it's been on the food network.  It's a big biscuit filled with egg, sausage, bacon, peppers, and I might be forgetting something.  It's good and only $2.39! 

 It has great "atmosphere" it has couches lining the other walls and a stage for music.  

This is a sign out front of the Biscuit King.  I can't help but finding it so funny.  

Happy Last Day of May.

bring on the summer!

Girls' evening in

 The other night Josiah went golfing with Daddy and Eric.  That meant it was just the girls!!!  

 Lillian is becoming much more motherly these days.  She wants to hold Cora,soothe her, burp her, and feed her.   

 So the best investment for our house has been our pool cover.  Case in point.  

She managed to jot over onto it 2 times that night.  I was sitting at the patio table.  She's just gotten so fast and I'm not used to it yet.

 Lillian has been looking forward to painting herself her pottery since she got her Easter basket.   

 Well my little artist LOVES to draw on herself.  I know that someday she will be the first one to get a tattoo.  or maybe become a tattoo artist.  We'll see....

 I can look at her all day.  She is my cutie pie!

 Currently my screensaver.  I love my Lillian with her envious eyelashes.

 This is just one of those photos that captures the essence of Lillian.

Cora is everywhere now.  

We had her two check ups this past week.  

She is now a little over 15lbs and 26 1/2 inches long

Pulmonologist = still sounds rattly, pretty sure it's still reflux, wanna see her back in 3 months

G.I. doc= still reflux, put her on nutramigen (insurance will no longer cover her formula) wanna see her in 4 months

Rant: If I qualified for WIC I wouldn't be paying for private insurance! I HATE insurance companies.  I think all the jokes of hell and lawyers should definitely be switched to insurance companies. 

Photos worth sharing

Some random ones I had flagged in iphoto.

Story:  This morning Josiah went out to the van in the garage to look for the ipod.  Later he said, "I peed on the van tire."  Obviously he was proud of himself even though that was what we had taught him do when he was 2.  Not as special now.  I went out to the garage to see if he was telling the truth or a story.  Yep a puddle/river of pee right in the middle of my garage.  

Josiah has been very imaginative lately.  He has a friend named "Mr. Fly" It's a fly that lives in our house.  He had a rock that was his friend named "Clover".  Clover is MIA.

The other day he was sitting in the booster in the very back of the van when his seatbelt was undone.  I asked why he undid his belt.  Reason: A bee flew in the window and unbuckled it. 

 Don't know how appropriate these are to share, but they are awful cute.

 He found our sporting goods cabinet.

 She found the lipstick in my car.

 I love this little one so much!

 As many of you know Anna and I spend many of our days "shopping".  Here's an insiders look at our clown car.  Unfortunately with the twins coming we'll have to split up our rides....or get a passenger van.

 My fascinator for the Royal wedding.

Trying out a new moby hold.  

Have a great week.  I'll have some new pictures to post soon.
